From their ranks came men who still command respect for their daring, skill, and resourcefulness. This volume brings together brief biographies of seventeen leaders of the western fur trade, selected from essays assembled by LeRoy R. Hafen in \u003ci\u003eThe Mountain Men and the Fur Trade of the Far West (ten volumes, 1965-72).\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe subjects and authors are: Etienne Provost (LeRoy R.
